Both the article and the professor discuss whether Pterosaurs could fly. The article provides three arguments to be against power flight. On the other hand, the professor disagree with those arguments and think that Pterosaurs could actually fly.
First of all, the reading materials claims that since modern reptiles are cold-blooded, pterosaurs might also be cold-blooded animal. We also learned that cold-blooded animal has slow metabolism, therefore pterosaurs could not produce enough energy needed to fly. However, the professor points out that pterosaurs had dense, hair-like coating to help them maintain their body temperature and condition. Thus, the professor believe that pterosaurs was actually warm-blooded, and they could produce enough energy to fly.
In addition, the article claims that pterosaurs were as large as giraffe, so they were too heavy to fly. The professor oppose this idea by providing anatomical evidence. She points out that the pterosaurs’ bones were hollow, hence the light weight let them could be kept airborne.
Finally, based on the fossil evidence, the reading assert that pterosaurs’ back leg muscles were too weak to allow them to run fast enough or jump high enough to launch themselves into the air. Nevertheless, the professor indicates that unlike birds, pterosaurs walked on the ground by four limbs. Thus, they could use four limbs to push them off from the ground successfully.
